Couldn’t ask for more!!

All I can say is WOW!! Oglebay was the best choice my husband and I could have ever made for our wedding ceremony and reception. We had our ceremony on the West Spa patio and it was absolutely beautiful. Followed by our reception in the Glessner auditorium which was everything I could have dreamed of. All of our guests can not believe how pretty the entire Oglebay set up was! So many friends and family keep telling us it was the most put together wedding they have ever been to. But… A very special shout out to our wedding coordinator Lauren Mitchell! She was AMAZING! When we needed something she was right there with us every step of the way. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly what we wanted and more. She was very responsive towards all emails, phone calls, meetings etc. We can not thank her enough!!

Dream Venue

Oglebay Resort is a dream come true wedding venue. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful or well-organized experience. We had our reception in the Glessner Auditorium. It is an elegant space with wood paneling, high ceilings, and an overall timeless charm. The staff was outstanding! The bartenders and servers were attentive and ensured our guests were taken care of all night. Our venue coordinator, Lauren, was wonderful and exceeded all our expectations. From start to finish of our cocktail hour and reception, the coordination was flawless because of her. Additionally, Lauren was very helpful throughout the wedding planning process. She is very responsive and ensured our reception was everything we hope for and more!

Oglebay’s catering was amazing! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and cooked perfectly. From appetizers during cocktail hour to our plated dinner, everything was fresh and flavorful. The bartenders were also great! They were very efficient and professional.

We highly recommend Oglebay! It’s a venue that combines the natural beauty of the resort (providing countless picture-perfect locations!), exceptional service, and elegant reception areas. Our guests loved every aspect of our wedding and are still talking about how incredible our reception was. Our dream wedding was truly brought to life thanks to Oglebay!

Winter Wedding

We had the most perfect winter wedding at Oglebay, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The venue itself was stunning, with the winter setting adding the perfect touch of magic to our day. The food was fantastic—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The bar was kept busy all night, but the staff never missed a beat, ensuring that everyone had what they needed. They served our guests promptly and efficiently, and every detail was handled with such care. Oglebay -especially our wedding coordinator, Lauren, truly went above and beyond to make our day special, and we are so grateful for their incredible service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful and seamless wedding experience!

Amazing Wedding location!

We had our wedding at Oglebay in December 2021. It was so magical! I would recommend it over and over again, especially if you want to be married around the holidays. The entire lodge was decorated beautifully (it always is), but something about winter really makes it spectacular. The staff were incredible and made us feel so important. We also used several of Oglebay's preferred vendors (shout out Hannah Barlow and Finest Events) who were awesome to work with as well. I honestly can't say enough good things about the experience.

Amazing venue!

We had our wedding at Oglebay in May 2021. Our ceremony was in the Fort Henry room and our reception was in Glessner Hall. The staff was phenomenal and both rooms were amazing. Our guests absolutely enjoyed getting to spend a weekend away and we received so many compliments!

Better than we imagined

My husband and I got married at Oglebay on July 18, 2020. We were planning on marrying at my church in the South Hills of Pennsylvania, but due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we were forced to look elsewhere. A friend of mine who frequents Oglebay year round for their various outdoor activities recommended we check out Oglebay. It was 2-weeks until our scheduled wedding date and although we thought that such a luxurious place may be too expensive, we were desperate, so decided to check it out.

The wedding specialist that we met with was extremely friendly and helpful. She was very attentive to our questions and helped us to plan a wedding that was not only better than what we previously planned, but better than we imagined! Not to mention, our beautiful wedding ended up staying within budget and the wedding photographer that we were originally working with ended up being one of Oglebay’s recommended wedding vendors, so he knew where to take the most stunning pictures.

Our first and only choice.

I had never been before, and we chose Oglebay after our first tour of Glessner Auditorium in Wilson Lodge. We are a couple from pittsburgh that wanted a “destination” feel without costing our guests an arm and a leg. The resort has so many wonderful amenities and i can’t wait to see what fun our guest get into. Our coordinator, Lauren, has been an absolute gem to work with. She had made things clear and understandable. We are so excited for our wedding this June, and the added benefit of booking a large picnic shelter for a welcome party the night before. Oglebay is a one stop shop and i can’t imagine doing this planning process any other way.

Fantastic venue!

I cannot speak highly enough about Oglebay! Cassie Holstein was absolutely amazing to talk to leading up to the wedding and went above and beyond the day of the wedding to make sure that everything went perfectly. She always had an answer to my questions and made me feel so at ease. My wedding was absolutely stunning and went so smoothly. The staff was great to us and our guests. The food was so delicious; my husband and I still talk about the steak! We are hoping to come back for our anniversary and enjoy the resort even more! I will always recommend Oglebay for weddings!

Oglebay Resort - Awesome in EVERY way!

Oglebay was so wonderful to work with! The ability to say that, though, is due 100% to Mrs. Ashley Dunlap. Myself and my new husband are from Wheeling, so Oglebay is LITERALLY in our backyard and a place we so often took for granted. However, when we visited Oglebay as a potential venue and met Ashley for the first time – she showed us Oglebay in a new light. It was so fun because Ashley was SO excited, and it made me SO excited to have someone like her on our team! It is really fun to be excited about your own wedding and then also get the opportunity to work with someone who is excited about your wedding, too. Ashley was literally ALWAYS there for us (I mean… she answered panicked 2am e-mails… who does that?! God bless her). Anything I asked about, she could do. When I was sick on wedding day and we needed to make game-day adjustments, Ashley did it. When there were several vendors with several needs that I could not keep straight myself, Ashley did it. When I had ANY question, Ashley had the answer. When wedding day was hot and we needed water, Ashley was there in 2 minutes with a cooler. When we planned a wedding during COVID and felt like we were lone soldiers on a huge island, Ashley was beside us (with her cute mask on). Also, Oglebay is pretty dang awesome, too! The food was incredible. They work internally with a bunch of different vendors so you do not have to. The venue was GORGEOUS. The grounds’ flowers were immaculate. They were so flexible with the COVID insanity and allowed us to postpone to a later date with no financial penalty. From what I am hearing from other “COVID brides,” this is a pretty amazing thing. My wedding day at Oglebay was PERFECT. From start to finish, it was simply a dream. If you are considering Oglebay for your wedding venue, I cannot encourage this decision enough. You will not regret it!

An amazing venue!

We has such an amazing wedding at Oglebay. They are very thorough with all the details and super responsive! We had our ceremony and reception in Glessner, it was absolutely beautiful and perfect. The person who was supposed to help direct the wedding ended up having a family emergency the morning of and Oglebay got another wedding coordinator in very quickly and made everything worry free. There was a mix up on some extra plates of food that they were very happy to fix as well. Couldn't ask for much more!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
